Hi,i built a website for my existing decorating business and through the site health google results i get this,my website is ranking on page 1 of google and generating new busi

Scamadvisor is a big and old site so it is very easy to rank for them. Now they are NOT targeting your site, they scrape all of the internet's websites.

They are ranking on the first page of Google when someone is searching for your domain simply because there aren't many other results to show.

You shouldn't worry about it for 2 reasons.

1. Not many people (if any at all) will google your actual domain name. Who does that?

2. As your website grows, it will fill up the search results on Google with ease.

Also the scamadviser isn't saying anything bad about your site... so just keep on working and it'll go away ;)

Thanks for your help on this i was getting a little worried about it as my site is doing so well generating me new business i didn`t want that rubbish to put potential customers off,
Do you have any idea why it is saying im using a service to hide the identity location of the site ?
Thanks again

That's because your domain name has a private registration info. This can be changed with your domain provider. If you purchased your domain with WA you can contact support and ask them to remove privacy and make your private details (with which you registered the domain name) public.

Turning off domain privacy would be a very bad move -- Doing that will expose your contact information (name, home address, personal phone number, email address) to the entire world. Domain privacy on registrations is a long-standing and accepted practice.

Thanks for the advice bob,i won`t be doing that in a hurry!

Theme twenty fifteen was created specifically designed for mobile view. That's what I use and I love it!

sorry for late reply ive been off here for days now and thanks for the advice,i have already changed my theme now,many thanks again...

Some themes want you to select which menu to use for Mobile. In WordPress, go to Appearance -> Menus -> Manage Locations (the tab at the top, and see if you need to tell it which menu to use for your Mobile Phone. This gives you the option to have different menu choices if you want by creating a separate menu.

thanks gary,my theme is responsive and mobile optimized and only supports one menu so i have selected primary navigation (main menu),i changed the theme earlier on today and ther menu worked only i would like to stick with the theme i have,sorry for delay in reply my keyboard is pressing wrong things all the time,thanks for the help.

i have taken my images from google images,now i have see the video on how to add images,should i delete them and start again,am i going to punished by google for this?

I agree with Linlin, this is a great resource for free images. http://freeimages.siterubix.com/online-photo-sharing-sites-free-images-websites

thankyou so much for your reply,ive been away for some time,
much appeciated thankyou...

If you take google images you may be violating copyright. It wouldn't be google that would be upset it would be the owner of the image. I have several art images on google and I would not like someone using them without my permission.

Yes, you would be better off removing those images and going to a site like Pixabay.com that offers free copyright images.

thankyou so much for your reply,ive been away for some time just getting back into things here at WA...
Thanks again...

hi ,im in the process of purchasing my domain,you mention .com is better,my existing facebook url is .co.uk also have siterubix here at wa would you reccomend i stick with .co.uk a

In my experience, I would use .com if it is available for the domain name you are choosing. Regardless of your physical location, it's the most known worldwide and easily remembered. You could only benefit from it in the long run. Hope this helps!

thankyou for your advice i went for the .com and was avaliable...many thanks again,i shall now follow you on here...
